    I can't seem to be able to build my game for the Windows Store Apps platform. Right when I start the building process, the process stops and output the following into the console:

    "Blev ikke fundet" is danish for "Was not found".

    I am using the type "D3D11 C++ Solution". I am running Windows 8 and I have tried to install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5 which just told me I already have it. Building for PC works without any problems. What should I do?

    You are using Visual Studio 2010, you need to install 2012.

    Could you check if those paths exists on your machine, for ex.,
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Wi ndows.winmd ?

    Also is it me, or is there a space between 'Wi' and 'ndows.winmd' ?

    I don't know whether or not I have it installed. Where do I get it from?

    None of the paths exist. The space between "Wi" and "ndows.winmd" is something that the forums have made and I didn't notice that. It does not show up in the actual error message.

    That looks like an error in your own scripts in your project - can't really help with that, just look at Health.js line 95 and see why it cant find your other class called 'GameScore'.

    You're using Unityscript in your game, it's not supported in 4.2 for Windows Store Apps.

    Yes, you need to convert it to C#.

    To make conversion a little easier, you could do this:
    * Build Windows Desktop application
    * Download http://ilspy.net/
    * Open it
    * Drag and drop Assembly-UnityScript.dll on ilspy window
    * Change the language to C#
    * It should show you the script in C#

    Hello Tomas,
    I am getting the same error :
    Could not start compilationException: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd' not found, do you have Windows 8.0 SDK installed?
    UnityEditor.Scripting.Compilers.MicrosoftCSharpCompiler.FillNETCoreCompilerOptions (WSASDK wsaSDK, System.Collections.Generic.List`1 arguments, System.String& argsPrefix) (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Scripting/Compilers/MicrosoftCSharpCompiler.cs:127)
    UnityEditor.Scripting.Compilers.MicrosoftCSharpCompiler.StartCompiler () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Scripting/Compilers/MicrosoftCSharpCompiler.cs:220)
    UnityEditor.Scripting.Compilers.ScriptCompilerBase.BeginCompiling () (at C:/buildslave/unity/build/Editor/Mono/Scripting/Compilers/ScriptCompilerBase.cs:47)
    UnityEditor.HostView:OnGUI()

    I am building the app for Windows Store Platform and SDK set to 8.0. My windows version is 8.1.
    I manually download windows SDK 8.0 on my windows 8.1 machine, but the path C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.0\ does not contain references folder.

    Please help.

    Are you sure you've installed Windows SDK 8.0 correctly? Because that path must exist.

    What folders do you have in C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits ? I presume you already have 8.1 there, what about 8.0 ?

    Weird, you're missing References folder. Here's another thing you might try, Windows SDK 8.0 is also installed by Visual Studio 2013 for Windows, there's a checkbox during installation "Tools for Windows Store Apps 8.0" or similar, I don't remember the exact name.

    Try launching Visual Studio installer again (to repair) or reinstalling it entirely. Perhaps you need to check something in installer to get this SDK installed.

    Hi

    Getting the same error, "Could not start compilationException: 'References\CommonConfiguration\Neutral\Windows.winmd' not found, do you have Windows Phone 8.1 SDK installed?"

    Using Unity 5.1.2 Personal, Windows 10 Home, Visual Studio Community 2015, Windows Phone 8.1 Update 1 SDK.
    Tried repairing the Visual Studio installation twice. Any help will be great. Thanks.

    Looks like you're missing a registry value for some reason - maybe Visual Studio installation is broken?

    It's string value InstallationFolder under "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Microsoft SDKs\WindowsPhoneApp\v8.1". On my machine it points to C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Phone Kits\8.1\.

    Yup... Visual Studio was broken. Downloaded the ISO for Visual Studio Community Free and then installed it ( Instead of the online installer ). Working fine now. Thanks!!!
